BYD Tang DM charges 22 kilowatt-hours. The BYD Tang is a 5-door, 7-seater mid-size SUV. Taking the 2021 BYD Tang Automatic Flagship model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4870 mm, width 1940 mm, height 1720 mm, with a wheelbase of 2820 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters, and a curb weight of 1895 kg. The 2021 BYD Tang Automatic Flagship model is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 192 hp, a maximum power of 141 kW, and a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I recall that the BYD Tang DM, a plug-in hybrid vehicle, has a battery capacity of approximately 18.3 kWh, meaning a full charge from zero requires about 18.3 kWh of electricity. Having driven it myself, on a standard home charging station with a power output of 3.3 kW, it takes an average of 5-6 hours to fully charge, providing a pure electric range of around 80-100 kilometers, which is quite practical for urban commuting. The battery is of the lithium-ion type, and maintenance requires attention to not deplete the charge too much; using slow charging mode regularly is better for battery longevity. This model also boasts low fuel consumption in hybrid mode. However, it's advisable to charge indoors or in a safe location, avoiding rainy conditions to prevent electrical hazards. Overall, it's quite hassle-free, and the electricity costs are economical.
As an average car owner, my BYD Tang DM requires about 18.3 kWh to fully charge. I usually charge it overnight using a standard 220V household socket, costing just over ten yuan - much more economical than refueling. With a pure electric range of 80 km, it perfectly covers my daily commute. I've developed the habit of scheduled charging to prevent battery overheating, and I occasionally check the plug to ensure it's secure. Frequent fast charging might accelerate battery degradation, so I recommend prioritizing slow charging - simpler, more reliable, and highly practical. The charging process is pleasantly quiet, offering both cost savings and environmental benefits.
